WoundedKnee - there is an Irish fable (story) wherein Ireland is called Tír na nóg - pron Teer na nogue (Land of the Youth). But you're right, Ireland is not popularly known as such.

I SO want to back to Ireland! The thing is, #1 money, and #2 lack of viable income. My mum's families were Burns and Delaney's, my dad's were Maze, Riley, and Morgan. Should I ever be able to get back, I fear I'd not want to leave!

Great news, why not extend the offerings to the end of September when prices drop anyway.

"Ireland may be known as the land of youth". Really? Who said so? Ireland has NEVER been known as the Land of Youth. Where do these columnists get this garbage?

Good news, We are planning a trip to Ireland in September to celebrate 50th anniversary and will travel by rail between Limerick and Dublin.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I wish this promotion had been around 15 years ago when I WAS 66 and had two good knees.
